How to create a static folder

Static folders are only available in some Creatio sections.

You can create a static folder in the following ways:

  • add a folder and fill it with records manually.

  • Copy the folder content from a dynamic folder.

To add a static folder manually:

1.In the [Filter] menu, select the [Show folders] option. The folder area will be displayed.

2.In the [Add folder] menu, select the [Static] command (Fig. 1).

The [Add folder] button menu is only displayed for sections where you can create a static folder.

3.Enter the folder name and click the [OK] button in the opened page.

As a result, the new static folder will be added in the section. You need to populate this folder manually. Read more >>> 

To create a static folder from a dynamic folder:

1.In the [Filter] menu, select the [Show folders] option.

2.In the folder tree, select a dynamic folder which content you need to include in a static folder.

3.From the btn_lookups_add_type.png menu, select the [Convert folder] option (Fig. 2).

4.Enter the new folder name and click the [OK] button in the opened page.

As a result, the static folder will appear as a subfolder of the selected dynamic folder. The content of the folders will be identical at the moment of conversion. Further, you can manually include or exclude records in the folder.

Note

The [Convert folder] action does not affect the content of the original dynamic folder.

Adding records to a static folder

1.In the [Actions] menu, select the [Select multiple records] command (Fig. 3).
